quick question, is the conic section (x^2/9)+(y^2/100) a parabola?

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

Quick answer: nope :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shoot! I don't suppose it's a Hyperbola either?

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

Try graphing like 4 points near the origin and it will become abundantly clear :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's an ellipse! I think I was forgetting the =1.

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

Yup. BTW, you can always use wolframalpha.com to graph stuff for you
